In Re Houston Pipe Line Company LP, ETC Katy Pipeline, LLC, Energy Transfer Fuel, LP, and Oasis Pipeline, LP v. the State of Texas

Opinion

Opinion issued December 31, 2024

In The

Court of Appeals

For The

First District of Texas

In connection with their mandamus petition, relators also filed an “Opposed

Motion for Immediate Temporary Relief,” requesting that the Court stay their

obligations to comply with the May 6, 2024 order compelling production pending

the Court’s review of their mandamus petition. The Court granted relators’ motion

and stayed their obligations to comply with the trial court’s May 6, 2024 order.

Our review of relators’ mandamus petition reflects that relators have not

established that they are entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we lift the stay

imposed by our June 11, 2024 order and deny relators’ petition for writ of

mandamus. We dismiss any pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Kelly and Rivas-Molloy.

2021-63124, in the 133rd District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Jaclanel McFarland presiding. The real party in interest is XTO Energy, Inc.
